The Process
By engaging EEBS as your sub-contract labour supplier you create an unbreachable firewall that prevents HMRC from reclassifying your self-employed sub-contractors as your employees. EEBS provide you with a bespoke online portal for uploading sub-contractor work records and timesheets. We then take over all responsibility for liaising with HMRC regarding these sub-contractors and the reporting of payments made. This greatly reduces your monthly CIS burden as you only report the monthly payments to EEBS.
Weekly Payment Process
EEBS can make payments on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. Here’s how a typical week works:
Monday
The online portal is open for timesheet submission.
Tuesday
Timesheets are submitted either online or via email by 4pm. An invoice is then sent to the client by 5pm.
Wednesday
EEBS payroll team make any final amendments or adjustments until 4pm. BACS payments are made to the sub-contractors by 5pm and remaining invoices are issued.
Thursday
EEBS receive payment of the invoice that was submitted to the client on Tuesday.
Friday
Sub-contractors receive payment.
In addition, EEBS will:
Verify each sub-contractor with HMRC.
Calculate and pay each sub-contractor in line with your current agreements.
SMS each sub-contractor the amount they are going to be paid.
Provide both a payment statement (for each time the sub-contractor is paid) and an annual CIS deduction statement.
Provide optional public liability insurance, if required.
